Howdo.
Keep puncturing up front on the Furai (well, once every four hundred miles anyway) and each time its a tiny hole next to the seal, with no corresponding tyre damage. Looks like the rubber is just giving out on the OEM supplied Kenda tube. Normally, I'd swap in the spare, repair at leisure, then swap back next time it dies on me. Thing is, my faith in this particular spare is somewhat lacking, and if/when I do have to swap it back in, I know it'll only be temporary reprieve.
So, assuming for a second that the Kenda is not worth patching (again again), I'm looking for another brand, probably Schwalbe (always been good on the other bikes).
Hmmmm... Where can I get one of those then? Hell, make it two. I'm running a Durano up front, and a Stelvio at the back, both of which are 23-520 (24 X 0.90) and take from 85-145psi.
Rims want a Presta valve, in standard length, but its an odd size, I'll admit.
Cheers for reading, and thanks for any pointers you can offer.
